The sail was ripped but the Kaz II was otherwise undamaged when Australian rescuers boarded the catamaran this morning
Cutlery set for a meal,
engine idling, laptop and cell
phones on and sunglasses
were placed on the table
in front of the
empty chairs - but there
 was no sign of the 3 crew missing near
Great Barrier Reef.
